I couldn’t have asked for a more beginner-friendly or comprehensive Hindi learning experience. Ali ji has been very patient and flexible to my needs, and he has pushed my Hindi learning capabilities to the next level. I was able to pass my schools Hindi test with flying colors thanks to Zabaan. I highly recommend it.

The best school in the world for learning Hindi, without a doubt. I have been learning over the past 1.5 months and can say that my progression has been exponential thanks to the amazing teachers at this school, who are highly professional and make the learning experience seamless. From knowing almost no Hindi at the start 1.5 months ago, I can confidently hold conversation, read news articles, and write Devanagari. Special shoutouts to Tamánna, Jeevika, Anita, Riya, Rachayta and Ali who have all made my experience so special and enriching, I am super grateful to them. Keziah is also great at coordinating everything behind the scenes and changing lessons when needed. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Mohammed
Hi! I’m Dr Mohammed Dawood a PhD in Persian from Jawaharlal Nehru University, where I developed a strong foundation in Indo-Persian languages and literature. My academic journey includes a B.A., M.A., M.Phil, and PhD, all from Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, where I honed my expertise in Persian language and literature. Over the years, I have cultivated a robust skill set for studying classical texts and have become proficient in reading Nas’ta’liq and various Persian manuscripts.
My teaching approach is clear and effective. I begin by understanding my students’ goals and the time they can commit to learning Persian. This allows me to tailor courses specifically to their needs. Once students grasp the basics and recognize letters, I assess their reading and writing skills while diligently addressing any errors from day one.
With experience as a teacher at Mumbai University in the Persian Department and at the American Institute for Indian Studies (AIIS) in Lucknow, I am well-equipped to guide students on their journey to mastering the Persian language.
